13. July 2012: Updated the code to not enable the mode in the
minibuffer. In the minibuffer the suggested no-easy keys to use are
wrong or no alternative exists no-easy key exists.

28. June 2011: I had switched around some 'b' and 'f' keys. Thanks
to anonymous commenter for pointing it out.

3 Description

This mode teaches you to use the proper Emacs movement keys in a
rather harsh manner.

No-easy-keys disables arrow, end, home and delete keys, as well as
their control and meta prefixes. When using any of these keys, you
instead get a message informing you of the proper Emacs shortcut you
should use instead (e.g. pressing down informs you to use C-n).

The easy keys are not disabled in the minibuffer. The minibuffer has
different proper keys replacements than regular buffers and depending
on various extensions such as icicles, ido, etc.
